2016 RSC January Blue Week 3 and a Charity Baby Quilt

After a third week of playing with blues, I'll add four Happy Scrappy Houses to my collection The pattern can be found on Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville website under the free pattern tab. All my little houses are occupied.

I decided to make a rainbow wonky star quilt with 2.5" squares this year. One block is all blue squares. The other block is blue and purple squares. To see what others made with blue prints go here Saturday morning.

My sewing buddy, Cathy, and I got together Saturday to sew RWB 8.5" blocks to donate for Home Town Hero Quilts. Here are my four blocks. I'll turn them in during this month's guild meeting.

My NY buddy, Sharon, sent me a box of goodies over the Christmas Holidays. I pulled a couple panels of wonky little houses and flower blocks from the box, cut them apart and sashed them with a sunny yellow print from my sash.

I used most of the blocks on the front and the rest on the back. It's quilted with a very loose free motion meander. The binding is a pretty yellow print, also from my stash. After a go in the washer and dryer this soft sweet little charity quilt finished at 35" x 37". This was fun to make. I'll turn it in during this month's guild meeting. Thank you Sharon.

Oh. My. Goodness!!! You have outdone yourself this week! Every project is just wonderful. I seriously love those house blocks, and the stars, the rwb blocks and what a great job you did of utilizing those panels! You're the bomb!

Your houses are the best. I'm falling in love with them. I've been watching Tiny House shows also. That's an impossibility for a quilter. Your blue wonky star blocks are both very nice. I tried one in December but it did not want to be obedient, so that is a dead end, I think. Keep up the good work because you are off to a great start.

I like all the blocks you made, especially those wonky stars. What a great idea. Love that bright and cheery baby quilt. Why not share it at Michele's Let's Make Baby Quilts.Just right to perk up spirits this winter.
